Chapter 684 Strike Wave!

"Huh?" Lin You was surprised, "Northern Ireland players are protesting? Are they going to join this game?"

"Yes." Chadwick was obviously not happy and began to complain to Lin You:

"Originally, the schedule has been arranged, and there will be a match on Christmas Eve. We have even started pre-publicity, and all the money has been spent!"

"As a result, they are now jumping out and protesting at the company door every day, saying that the company treats them differently and discriminates against them as Northern Irish people."

"We can't stand this big hat."

"But if there were originally two teams playing one game, if it becomes three, then the schedule will inevitably be lengthened if we want to determine the rankings."

"So I can only come to you to ask for authorization. Not only do we need to extend the game time, but we also need to screen data and select technical authorization for player representatives. The authorization time must be lengthened, and the scope of authorization must be expanded to include players from Northern Ireland..."



Lin You did not interrupt Chadwick, but waited for him to finish speaking before saying:

In this way, he can convey his "powerful" voice and let the server serving the virtual world be successfully completed.

In just a few seconds, a clear timeline was sorted out by Xiao Meng and displayed in front of Lin You.

Xiao Meng nodded proudly, and then, the complicated news pages in front of Lin You immediately began to move quickly and rearrange themselves.

[More than 150,000 faculty and staff across the country will launch a three-day general strike starting from December 23!]

Let’s look at the recent news, it’s even more outrageous——

It started with players protesting, and then went from protest to strike.

Then the second, the third, the fourth...

"Are they so awesome?!"

By this time, not many people were shouting about virtual games and servers. Instead, the slogans behind them were getting louder and louder, like an avalanche, sweeping across the country.

[115,000 Royal Mail workers will begin a 48-hour strike from the 20th!]

[More than 10,000 ambulance nursing personnel will hold a two-day strike on December 17th and 18th!]

[The British Civil Service Union said: Its 100,000 members across 124 administrative departments will take strike action!]



But after looking at the entire timeline, he discovered that there was no such critical time point.

Not only that, under this wave of general strikes, even if the British government agrees, I am afraid that this server center will not be built.

The complexity of the event will inevitably bring a lot of work. Next, the entire CC Game Company must go all out to catch up with the progress.

*

On Yunmeng's side, after ending the call, Lin You did not rush to work, but watched the British news with Xiao Meng.

The first piece of news that caught his eye made Lin You shout in his heart that he was awesome——

"Ah!" Chadwick immediately realized the seriousness of the matter——

Lin You recalled that the last time he paid attention to the news in the UK, it seemed that the British players planned to learn from the "advanced experience" of the German players, give up the powerless protest march, and instead unite as many people as possible to organize a nationwide general strike.

This is too outrageous!

Later, because he was busy with other things, he did not follow up on the matter.

So I added a few sentences to the strike protest slogans: "Increase salary and benefits!" "Improve working environment!" "Protest against delayed retirement!"

Then they definitely can’t bear it!

At that time, there will inevitably be chaos again, and if it continues to be delayed, the final battle of this game will definitely not be able to make it in time for Christmas.

So I came to the familiar little sofa again, had a glass of juice with Xiao Meng, and started browsing overseas news.

Just start in the UK.

The scale of the strike was not large at first, and its influence online far exceeded its influence on society in reality.

In this wave of strikes, players' protests are just the trigger that detonates the powder keg.

But...if that's the case, why don't we see many titles about [server] and [virtual reality]?

The slogans of these general strikes are either to increase wages and improve working conditions, or to address issues such as pensions and employment security.

This behavior quickly attracted a large number of imitators.

But seeing the general strike now intensifying in the UK, Lin You was shocked:

"Sure enough, wages, medical care, and elderly care are the eternal social issues." Lin You couldn't help but sigh.

In other words, British players will probably face high delays for a long time and continue to love and kill India in the T3 theater.

After all, if I had agreed to the player's request earlier, I might not have to face this mess.

At the same time, a large number of new windows were opened, and new information was added to this information storm.

"Is this...done by British players?"

Lin You looked at the news about strikes and protests. Some of them had already happened, some were ongoing, and some were planned for the future...

Although Wales has close ties with England, there is little talk of independence.

There are no player voices at all.

"How can a German player be your teacher?"

And these slogans have had a far greater impact than their previous slogans!

A large number of netizens spontaneously joined Calais, and the volume of strike protests grew day by day.

It is even possible to postpone it until New Year's Eve and hit the second [Peak Battle]!

"It's really not enough!" Chadwick quickly changed his words and included Welsh players in this event.

At the same time, Lin You also had to worry: After such a round of "big trouble", is there any hope for Yunmeng's server center to settle in the UK?

If you think about it from his perspective, if someone caused him such a big trouble, then he would definitely not make the other person too happy...

"Of course Xiaomeng knows!"

"I mean, is it possible that if you announce that Northern Ireland has joined the competition today, tomorrow the door of the company will be blocked by Welsh players? As far as I know, the number of players in Wales is three times more than that in Northern Ireland.

one."

He hopes to find that turning point.

Lin You turned to look at Xiao Meng, who was holding his arm: "Xiaomeng, do you know what's going on?"

This is not possible.

But then some people thought that since they were going on strike to protest anyway, they might as well protest all the things they were unhappy with.

Lin You followed this timeline and looked at the titles one by one.

"Are you sure this is enough?"

"What do you mean?" Chadwick was stunned for a moment.

In comparison, the player protest at the entrance of CC Game Company is just an inconspicuous little wave.

Later, the first professional trade union emerged and organized members to carry out organized general strikes.

Across various industries, transportation, education, logistics, medical... and even civil servants!

The scope of influence is ridiculously large.

Before going to bed, he thought happily: Fortunately, the wave of strikes did not affect the game industry, otherwise it would never be able to catch up.

It was still late at night in London at this time, and he had to go to rest quickly.

However, if a game involves players from England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, only Welsh players are excluded...

Chadwick's words "Don't you know?" made him realize that he had not paid attention to the situation overseas for some time.

After getting Lin You's authorization, he finally ended the call with peace of mind.

I wonder if the British government agencies have any regrets after seeing the current situation?

unless……

Move the server center to Ireland?

As soon as this idea came up, Lin You thought of another thing:

"It seems...Ireland and Britain also have enmity?"
